The Best Day

George Strait

We loaded up my old station wagon 
With a tent, a Coleman and sleepin' bags
Some fishin' poles, a cooler of Cokes
Three days before we had to be back

When you're seven you're in seventh heaven 
When you're goin' campin' in the wild outdoors
As we turned off on that old dirt road 
He looked at me and swore

Dad, this could be the best day of my life
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we'll have
Just me and you doin' what I've always wanted to
I'm the luckiest boy alive
This is the best day of my life

His fifteenth birthday rolled around
Classic cars were his thing
When I pulled in the drive with that old Vetted 
I thought that boy would go insane

When you're in your teens 
Your dreams revolve around four spinnin' wheels
We worked nights on end till it was new again
And as he sat behind the wheel
He said

Dad, this could be the best day of my life
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we've had
Just me and you doin' what I've always wanted to
I'm the luckiest boy alive 
This is the best day of my life

Standin' in a little room 
Back of the church with our tuxes on
Lookin' at him I say
I can't believe, son that you've grown
He said

Dad, this could be the best day of my life
I've been dreamin' day and night of bein' like you
Now it's me and her
Watchin' you and mom I've learned
I'm the luckiest man alive
This is the best day of my life
I'm the luckiest man alive
This is the best day of my life
